Her life changed some years ago in many ways: some subtle and others less so. By adopting an alien philosophy, her world changed.

Five years ago a serial killer held the city in fear, slashing and murdering seemingly at random. With the police totally clueless and the public held in the grips of terror, the grisly murders simply …ended. Now, with a mysterious flash of light in the darkness, the panic and terror have returned for some and this time it has a face: Boogiepop. But she’s not the only one whose stalking the darkened streets… Episode 4; My Fair Lady: Yoji Suganuma's life is falling apart.
